Precaution
Before operating the set, please read this manual carefully.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of any electric shock, do not remove back cover as there are no user serviceable parts inside.
Please refer to Plura or a qualified service personnel/agent. To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the rear
